The extraction of uranium (VI) by bis(hexylsulfinyl)ethane(BHxSE) in nitric acid aqueous solution has been investigated. The extracted species appeared to be UO2(NO3)2·2BHxSE. Influences of nitric acid concentration, NaNO3 concentration, Na2C2O4 concentration and temperature on the extraction equilibrium were investigated and the thermodynamic functions of the extraction reaction were obtained.
